Wow!

Those drones are just amazing and they look so cool too. It would be interesting to see a behind the scenes on how they get everything ready charged and programed.

I would like to know how they are able to get the drones exactly spaced. GPS positioning would be a guess but what software would be able to handle so many drones?

From the little bit that I saw of the time they flew them for the Olympics they said it is all flown from a single computer.

Color me skeptical, but the positioning is so precise that it's hard to believe that GPS could be that exact. Everything that I've read is that we should normally expect to be accurate within about 10 to 16 feet. Military use is more accurate than that, but this isn't military. However, I can't think of another way they could do this. Amazing, tho.
